Who Am I?

See how many clues it takes you to correctly identify this mystery person, then click the button below to find out who it is!

1. I had a longstanding interest in Hindu philosophy, religion and music - as evidenced by my "Hymns from the Rig Veda."
2. Like Vivaldi, I was an instructor at an all-girls school (for nearly 30 years).
3. I was accused of being a German sympathizer because of my name. I shortened it and went by that shortened name the rest of my life.
4. I was declared physically unfit for combat during World War I. I did my part, however, by serving as the YMCA music organizer for British troops stationed in the Near East.
5. My American debut came at the Library of Congress in 1937 for the Coolidge Festival.
6. I am considered an influential 20th century British composer.
7. One of my best friends was fellow composer Ralph Vaughan Williams.
